Chris Brown Speaks on his Time Spent in Jail

Chris Brown was in jail for a couple of months earlier this year, for violating his probation from the  case he caught in 2009 when he beat up Rihanna. In a recent interview with Billboard Magazine, he spoke on his time in jail. 






"You know, jail isn’t a place of many creative spirits. But as far as my creativity, I put it on hold until I got out. Jail is more of a regimen and a structure. I’m more of a free spirit when it comes to creating music, painting and art. So when I got out, I was very excited to get into the studio. I didn’t have any ideas or concepts; they usually come as I go [in to record]. I was drawing and sketching most of the time, biding time."









It is the same with most artists that go to jail; Tupac said something similar. They are not motivated to be creative, but the solitude gives them time to think and reflect on what they really want to do when they get out. So, when they do get out, they head straight to the studio to work.
